ington correspondent makes this posi-
tive statemeo: "Sectetary Manning
is going to resign and accept the Pres
idency Of the new bank in New York
City. Mr.. Jordon is to lie its Vice
President. Both gentlemen will re-
main here until Congress adjourns, un-
less tbs President can release them
sooner without embarrassment. Mr..
Manning has not resigned, but in an
interview yesterday he informed the
President of his intentions. The Pres
ident said he disliked to have changes
made in the Cabinet, but he would
not ask Mr.. Manning to remain, as, in
case of further injury to his health
from overwork, he would feel, III a
measure, responsible for that conse-
quence. Mr.. Manning's salary in his
new position will be double what he
receives as Secretary of the Treasury"

man, sold l4l7 chickens and 55s doz-
ems Of eggs in Farmerville last year,
says the Gazette. At 20 cents apiece
for the chickens and ten cents per doz-
en- for tho eggs, which is about the
average market price, the handsome
little sum of ss39.2o might have been
and probably was, realized. This
beats cotton all to pieces, and just such
as this is what is making people rich
in other countries where engaged in

some of Lincoln's farmers will under.

IF some of the gentlemen who spend
their time i'll barrooms squandering their
last cent for liquor, would pack up their
traps and cmigrate from this section, it
would be a blessing to hecountry. They
are the men who would kick about paying
forty cents for nights lodging, then go
out muttering that they would rather lie
ont i'll the street than pay forty cents
However, the Same men never once
thought of kicking about the price of
whiskey.. they drink. That is the way
some men are raised-if they want to
sleep with the dogs, Of course their ca
nine instinct teaches them to go into a
kennel and save forty cents in order to
spend it for whiskey. OF such men, good
Lord! deliver us.-CTrinity Herald.

Cart. Sam Hynes, of this Parish, says
The Natcllitoches Rerieir, has on his plan
tatioa, about four miles above Town on
Cane rivzr, some $50 head of tho finest
beef cattle we have seen for many years.
Having made last year a very large guam
tity of corn, he conceived the idea of pnr-
chasing cattle, which in the fall of the
year are always cheap, and feeding it to
them. He purchased a machine which
runs by steam and brushes the corn, cob
and all, with about one bushel of cotton
seed to every barrel Of corn, making
most excellent feed. In addition to this,
in his pasture are large racks filled with
fine bermuda hay (Which Captain Hynes
also raised) from which the cattle eat at
will. Mnre than hundred Of these eat
tie arc now seal fat, and will average
1900 pounds each. These brevcs will no
doubt command good price when ever
the cataa is ready to snll them, which

A NICE LITTLE BOY INCOURT.

A nice little boy, reared in the intel lectual and heterodox atmosphere of Boston, happened to be a witness in case in Cincinnati, and the question arose as to his being old enough to understand the nature of an oath, so the judge in- vestigated him.
 "Well, Wendall," he said, kindly, "do you know where bad little boys will go when they die?'
 "No sir" replied the boy with conf dence.
 Goodness graciousw exclaimed the judge, in shocked surprise; "don't you know they will go to hell?"
 No, sir; do your
 "Of course do."
 "How do you know it?'
 'The Bible says so."
 "Is it true"
 Certainly it is.
 "Can you prove it?'
 "No, not positively; but we take it on faith" explained the judge,
 "Do you accept that kind of testimony in this court?' inquired the boy, coolly, But the judge didn't answer; he held up his hands and begged the lawyers to take the witness, - Washington Critic.

WHY NOT :!

"Why do they cry for bread ?" asked the innocent French princess, as the roar of the fierce, hungry mob resounded through the courtyard of Versailles. ''lf they have no bread, why don't they eat cake?"
 Yet, not fool above other fools was the pretty princess, who never in her whole life had known that cake was not to be had for the ask ing. "Why are not the poor, thrifty and virtuous and wise and temper ate:" one hears whenever in luxuri- ous parlors such subjects are men, tioned. What is this but the ques- tion of the French princess? Thrift and virtue and wisdom and temper ance are not the fruits of poverty. - Irish World.

ADVICE TO "F. K. W. y

"'' ''N"'' ." 'h' ''' To Me WOrkmen's AdrOcdte:
 notice in your last issue of the ADvo- CATE an article from "F. K. W. taking me task for my application of the Land graif' case. A word of advice to 'F. K. w.: Don't undertake to write or speak upon subject which you do not under stand.
 If IF. K. w." will take the trouble to read my article, he or she will find the following expression therein:
 "Is Htere no redress for her? she dShs Hrough Me "Hernld," speah'ing, as C laSt resort from her social standpoint, as q lrOnun."
 If this is not plain enough must des- pair for the future of "F. K. w.
 Mrs LandgraT, having exhausted her arguments as capitalist, appeals through the Herald for sympathy; and thinks she ought not to have been boycotted, be- cause she nas q WOndn.
 have no doubt that Mrs. LandgraH would make a most pronounced advocate of woman-suifrage, and still claim sym pathy and exceptions on account of her sex.
 But have still another case in point. That of Mrs. Druse-murderess- which your readers are all more or less familiar.
 With the aid of her son and daughter (whose assistance she compelled at the point of pistoD, she shot her husband seven times. This failing to kill him, she procured an ax and chopped off his head. She then cut up his body and fed the remnants to the hogs.
 At her trial she was sentenced to death. The female sutfragists of New \ ork State interested themselves in her behalf and demanded a pardon from Governor Hill, on the ground that she was refined, delicate and sensitive woman, who had been abused by her husband for twenty years, and was thus justified in murder ing him. The Governor very properly refused to pardon her or to commute her sentence, but, very politically, granted her stay until after the assembling of the State legislature, in order to afford the suilraglsts an opportunity to present a bill abolishing capital punjshment n tue eases of romen. They are pushing that bill flor all it is worth, and at the same session they intend to again demand the right to vote.
 In other words they want license to murder their husbands at will, but desire the laws to remain in force as applied to the male, In the same breath, they de- mand the right to assist in the making of laws. Will "F. K. w." have the kind ness to look this "cold fact in the face and attempt to generalize it from exist ence?
 The fact that her husband abused her entities Mrs. Druse to no consideration. There was no law compelling her to live with her husband, and there were mani fold laws to release her if she desired it. She took the law into her own hands and should suffer the consequences, un- less she was insane, and there has been no claim of insanity in her case.

REM FEM BERED.

During the strike of 1883 of the telegraph operators Lizzie Annan- dale (now contralto of the Abbott Opera company took sides with the boys, and by singing helped them all she could. Friday evening, De- cember F, the boys of Omaha at tended the performance of "Il Trov- atore," and during the evening pre- sented her with a beautiful floral design. It consisted of a bed of flowers built on a board four feet long and eighteen inches wide. At either side and midway of the length were the letters "L. A. " in red and purple on white background. At each end of the board stood two miniature telegraph poles, and between them stretched six wires covered with ivy and roses for insulators. From the wires and over the monograms was suspended the number ",3, under stood by all operators to mean Re gards." The card attached read, Compliments of the Omaha tele- graph operators to Miss Annandale, at Boyd's Opera House, Dec, F., 1886, in remembrance of lSS3."

American Harvesting Machinery in Aus
tralia.

Australian papers just received announce
the award of the National Gold Medal to
AULTMAN, MILLER q Co., of Akron, O., for
their Light Draft Buckeye Folding Binder,
as the result of the National field trial held
in December last. The following, cut from
the Melbourne argus of December Is, 1886,
giving particulars of the contest, will be Of
interest The Argus says:
The field trial OF reapers and binders in
connection with the National Show at
Shepparton was held on Tuesday, the 18th
inst, on Mr. Guthrie's farm, about two
miles from Shepparton. Owing to the
pressure of harvest work, crops in all di.
rections being ripe, the attendance of farm
ers did not exceed $50, but great interest
was taken in the proceedings. AS at the
late show the judges placed the Hornsby
machine first NJ Cormick second and the
Woods third the Buckeye" representa-
tive disliked being left out in the cold, and
demanded field trial as provided by the
rules, the Mccormick also sharing in the
protest; so the prizes were held over pend
ing the field trial The crop was ripe
wheat, and the land was so rough that
none of the machines could show very low
cutting, and the jolting over the hard clods
was tolerably severe on horses, machines
and drivers. Two o clock was the hour fixed
for the trial, but as the Buckeye was the
only machine then ready, delay was
caused by the Hornsby and Mccormick
experts giving their machines a pre-
liminary run in the adjoining block of crop,
and a start was not made until quarter
past three. The five judges gave great at
tention to their duties, and were ably sec
onded by the subcommittee, appointed by
the society and the secretary, Mr.. Harold
B Turnkey. About two acres were allotted
to each machine, and they finished in
the following order: Buckeye ! hour 10
minutes; HOrnsby, l hour 10 minutes;
Mccormick, hour 20 minutes. The two
latter machines were drawn by three
horses each, while two lighter horses
worked the buckeye" binder with equal
ease. The decision of the judges was based
on the following scale Of points:
